Enroll Now for MCC’s Technical Writing Certificate Program

Middlesex Community College’s Writing Technical Information Certificate Program is now accepting applications. This 120-hour, two-semester, post-graduate certificate program provides the skills necessary to write technical documents and effectively communicate about technical information.

Fall classes start Thursday, Sept. 5, and it’s not too late to register! (Application deadline is Thursday, Aug. 22.)

MCC’s Writing Technical Information Certificate is a noncredit career-enhancement opportunity for individuals with well-developed writing skills, a bachelor’s degree, and at least three years of work experience. Classes will be held Thursday evenings, September through May, on the Bedford campus.

Through lecture, online learning and projects, Technical Writing students will create a portfolio featuring samples of their work.

Students will learn how to conduct audience and task analysis, work with subject-matter experts, understand product documents and the product-development cycle. They will also learn to write clear procedures, review and revise technical information, manage projects, and make content useable. Mark-up languages, such as HTML and XML, as well as tools for authoring information for electronic and print distribution, will also be covered.
